I.M. Pei
内容简介
When I. M. Pei was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1983, the jury said he had "given this century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms." I. M. Pei: Complete Works, the first and definitive survey of the master architect, attests to this statement by showcasing Pei’s transcendent, sculptural forms in over fifty projects and more than 300 illustrations, culminating in the last works he is currently completing. Often working in a spare geometry with a palette of stone, concrete, glass, and steel, Pei—who began his career pioneering public housing projects in New York City—has taken his vision of modern architecture across the globe with commissions in locations as diverse as Quatar, China, Luxembourg, Japan, and Germany.

建筑实际上是空间和造型。为 让空间和造型活起来，就必须有光线，而光线中是好的就是自然光。 在墙体和玻璃的组合中，把握二者间动态是很重要的，即要让光线在固体墙面上产生图案。
